At the press conference after the screening of the film Operasi X, the cast members were in good spirits. At the helm of this jovial mood was Datuk Awie, who kept the jokes going, be it when he’s sharing the challenges of making the film or interjecting with a punchline when others were speaking.

The singer-actor who turns 50 on Nov 24 seemed comfortable in his role as a senior among his younger colleagues, which include Datuk Aaron Aziz, TV host Hefny Sahad, TV actress Hanna Aqeela, as well as models Nashra Shah and Shima Aris.
